What the table does not show
- Children: many cities exempt them, at different ages. A family of four pays the same as a couple in Paris (under-18s never pay in France), but twice as much in Lisbon if both children are 13 or older.
- Longer stays: caps change the order. Over two weeks, Edinburgh (5 nights), Venice (5), Barcelona (7) and Rome (10) stop charging, Milan and Paris do not.
- Season: the Balearic tax is four times lower from November to April; this table uses mid-October rates.
